Your recipe looks delicious.
I’ve never cooked with andouille sausage so don’t know how it holds up in cooking. I use kielbasa in my slow cooking and it always turns into rubber. On a cooking episode, Alton Brown browned and served the sausage on top of the soup, rather than cooking it in the soup. I tried it and it worked like a charm so I’ve been doing that ever since.
Betty- Great tip!
I’m eating this soup as I type this comment. I can say, with certainty, that it tastes as good as it looks! I used my Instant Pot and cooked it for 25 min with a quick release then added the spinach, which wilted quickly. This recipe will be on repeat for sure!
Yay! So happy you liked it!
The big chunks of sausage are the best! It’s healthy & so tasty! Loving all these soup recipes..now I need cooler weather!
Natalie- They really are!
All my favorite veggies in soup! The sausage is a great addition. I’ve added chicken & hamburger, so this is a great change!
Kristyn- I will have to try that.
